I dunno what there is that would stop this.
Why doesn't the grassroots do a money bomb for themselves? Setup a very very trusted group to co-ordinate a lot of the big grassroots advertising efforts and send out info to RP supporters to donate say...$15 each. On a specific site which organizes all the different legitimate groups such as the blimp, Jeremy's brilliant advertisements..etc. Sort out and arrange the most crucial by importance, date, vote..whatever. Send out the emails and facebooks and meetups as normal, but indicate it is separate from the campaign and goes directly into the grassroots media assault (which many claim is better and farthur reaching than the campaigns)
Distribute that money for all to see? An on profit advertising group (like the blimp) but directed from one source.
The money donated is allowed over the regular campaign donations, and $15 is like a trip to McDonalds which is easier to swallow.
Personally I like the blimp. But I see Jeremy's advertisement as much more important because it hits people in their homes and gives them the name AND information, not just name recognition. The blimp is an eye catcher, but is very limited in it's range of view. Excellent tv advertisments, and very well organized newspaper and magazine ads such as the Hunting, Canabis, ArabAmerican, could get off the ground much much quicker. 10,000 people hearing about and donating $15 to a fund for causes they KNOW will make a difference, is better than a couple thousand hearing the the many different messages at random times for random causes.
Anyway just my opinion. As someone said earlier. The media is now is their attack mode. We no longer have to fight for name recognition, we now have to change our tactics to get the right messages out. Become even more organized and solidified, and show the MSM that grassroots isn't a rag tag bunch of people disparately trying to get attention.
